Terrible True Tales: Romans (4 Books in 1)
Terry Deary's Terrible True Tales: Romans explores the wonders of the Roman Empire through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. Packed with fun illustrations by Helen Flook, these stories feature real people and take place in some of the most significant moments in Roman history.

The Fatal Fire Mary is terrified to accompany her master into the big, scary city of Rome. Then she finds herself the only witness to a terrible crime, and suddenly there's danger at every turn.
The Captive Celt Rome is thrilled by the news that the infamous British chief Caratacus has been captured. Little does Bran, a feisty young Celtic slave, realise that this event is going to change his life.
The Goose Guards Rome is under attack and the barbarian army is now preparing to besiege the home of Brutus, a trainee priest. Will rescue ever come and will Brutus know who to trust?
The Grim Ghost Pertinax is helping his grandmother when the great Pliny himself tells him a ghost story set in the very garden they're standing in. But there's no truth in ghost stories... right?

The Gold in the Grave A group of thieves plot to rob Tutankhamen's tomb of its vast wealth. If they succeed, it'll be the greatest robbery in history. If they fail, the consequences are severe...
The Magic and the Mummy When the pharaoh dies, it's Neria's job to mummify his cat. The trouble is, the cat is still alive. Can Neria find a way to save the cat without being caught and punished?
The Plot on the Pyramid The Great Pyramid is a lively place to work. The only problem is Antef, the fussy, irritating supervisor. When the workers go on strike, everyone's loyalty is tested.
The Phantom of the Nile Menes, a trainee scribe, is tasked with getting rid of a ghost. But what if the phantom is actually more human than supernatural? It will take all of Menes's skill and ingenuity to find out the truth...

The Tortoise and the Dare: Elena's freedom is at stake. She needs all her cunning to make sure her brother wins a race in the Olympic stadium. But will he?
The Boy Who Cried Horse: When a stranger announces that the Greeks have departed Troy, leaving a special gift of a wooden horse, young Acheron is suspicious. He races to tell Prince Paris about the Greek plot, but will anyone at the palace believe him?

The Great Flood: Jay loves to listen to his grandfather's stories of the Great Spirit and the Earth Mother, but outside, danger is at their door. Food is getting scarcer, tribes are at war and the river water is rising...
The Great Storm: On the cold and windy island of Skara Brae, Tuk and his sister Storm are hunting. But when a thief steals half their tribe's winter food stores, it's up to the siblings to solve the mystery. What if they starve? And even worse, what if it's true that their father's the thief?
The Great Monster: While everyone else works, Sin-leqi reads tablets in the great temples. The tablets tell tales of the legendary Gilgamesh, tales that are so fantastical that lazy Sin-leqi doesn't have to work as long as he keeps telling them. But when the story comes to an end, Sin-leqi is in trouble...
The Great Cave: Willow isn't the strongest or fastest in his tribe, but he is careful and clever. So when the brawny and brash Bull takes over as the tribe's chief, it's going to take all of Willow's wits to survive!

The Thief, the Fool and the Big Fat King: Eleanor becomes troubled by her family's cunning and foils their plans to catch a coney. Meanwhile, fearsome King Henry VIII has some rather cruel ideas of justice ... for everyone.
The Maid, the Witch and the Cruel Queen: The day Queen 'Bloody Mary' Tudor came to town was the most terrifying day of young Meg's life. Everyone wants to impress her, and what better way is there than by burning a witch? But the 'witch' in question, Old Nan, is more clever and cunning than the townspeople who hunt her...
The Actor, the Rebel and the Wrinkled Queen: The dashing Earl of Essex is plotting a rebellion to overthrow the aged Elizabeth I and is using the Globe Theatre in his plot. When Queen Elizabeth I learns of the plan, Shakespeare's theatre company end up in the most putrid prison in the land.
